77-year-old man was doing fine. His left eye was a little worse than the right eye, and then in the 2 months ago he had sudden severe vision loss in the right eye. He had a stroke in the eye. His left eye has been poor for about six years but now that is his better eye and he is going along okay with that. Currently he is on Alphagan, Zymar and Pred Forte in the right eye. He ran out of some of the medicines though yesterday. His vision in the right eye is a little bit better over the last few months. The left eye sees okay. He does lose the superior field of the vision in the left eye. He has had coronary bypass surgery in 1995. He had an aortic valve replacement October of 2006 with a cow valve. When he was started on the Aggrenox, he was taken off his aspirin.
VISUAL ACUITY: Vision OD is 3/200; OS is 20/60. IOP: OD 30, OS 15.
SLIT LAMP EXAM: The right eye has a posterior chamber intraocular lens in good position as does the left eye.
EXTENDED OPHTHALMOSCOPY:
OD: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.4. The macula is white from ischemia. The arteries are narrow.
OS: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.4. There are telangiectatic vessels on the inferior portion of the optic nerve which look to be possibly opticociliary shunts or venous-venous shunts. There is nongeographic atrophy in the macula.
Photos confirm clinical findings.
OCT SCAN: OCT scan of the right eye shows retinal thickening, consistent with macular edema associated with a central retinal artery occlusion. The left eye has severe inferior retinal thinning, consistent with an old hemicentral retinal artery occlusion in the left eye. The fovea in the left eye is a little bit thin but not too bad.
IMPRESSION: 1. CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION RIGHT EYE
2 OLD HEMICENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION LEFT EYE
3 DIABETES WITHOUT RETINOPATHY
4 ELEVATED INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE RIGHT EYE STATUS POST INJECTION RIGHT EYE A WEEK AGO
DISCUSSION: I explained to the patient that the right eye unfortunately has had a central retinal artery and unfortunately we do not have anything to treat that. His vision will probably improve some over time. He needs to be watched though. It is possible he is developing rubeotic glaucoma, although it is probable the intraocular pressure is high from the injection last week. I asked him to restart the Alphagan, to stop the other two drops, and to return here in three weeks to make sure his pressure is more acceptable.
At this point, having lost almost all the retinal circulation in the right eye and half of the retinal circulation in the left eye, he only has half a retina in the left eye he is working off of. I told him it is very important he keep seeing you and anything that can be done to keep his blood pressure low and his cholesterol reasonable would be helpful to what remains of his retinal circulation.
